What's the best car for Indy 500
Not the X2010
Edit: sorry it's for b-spec if that makes any difference.

The FGT is as close to an open wheeled Indy car in the game so that is what I used the first time.......

If you're doing Indy to grind then it's the Ford GT test car in the GT dealership at 3.6 mil. Used in the American Championships at level 22 IIRC.

The Corvette RM cars with some tuning can also do well here at a much lower cost.

Otherwise the X2010 is fun to hold wide open with tall gearing working on getting better and better at drafting up to the faster cars to reach 300 MPH. I think I've topped out at 298 or so.

i used de 908 FAP with a big turbo

If by "best" you mean "most rapidly get it over with" and/or "most easy to win with", the Formula GT is the next best thing to the X2010. You should easily win with the AI finishing several laps down.

I used the FGT for the event because that was the closest option to an Indy car. I didn't look to see what the AI would be using and just presumed it would logically be FGTs, but it wasn't. I stuck with the FGT anyway just because it was the closest car in GT5 to what would run the actual Indy 500, but the FGT obliterated the AI.

I used my Mercedes Sauber C9, was an easy race.

Well I'll see in the morning if I've won it using minolta

As long as you added a high RPM turbo Bob should be fine.

And you want to use the Formula GT if you don't have an X2010 and wouldn't want to babysit the whole race.

I came 9th

i used my minolta for the indy and won by 5 seconds. any car that is quicker than this car will obviously win.

 

[MustangManiac]

The Ford GT 👍

 

[GTracer98]

Stock 787b )

 

[SAVoxleitner]

I used the Minolta first around and the the X2010 for subsequent attempts.
But yeah, any Group C car, LMP (except for the R10 ) or the FGT will do you fine.

 

[MoLiEG]

Just about any LMP - Group C car can win this race...

My take would be the XJR-9, just because it looks gorgeous

Why not the x2010?

Did the picture not give a clue as to what the AI would be using?

And I read that as 500 miles Indianapolis, not Indy 500. PD can't call it the Indy 500 as they don't have the license for it.

 

[hairystig]

I always felt like the AIs should have been in FGTs for this event.

Get a X2010, its not hard at all

I don't think the OP has a problem getting the X2010, he just wants more of a challenge.

For b-spec?

 

[porthillking]

Maybe he enjoys B-Spec and doesn't want to destroy the competition.

 

[Mike_rmhh]

In earlier Gran Turismo games I,m sure there was a generic Indy car, can anyone remember what its name was?

 

[Chiochan]

FGT, simple choice.

 

[DaOriginalToken]

i wish i was able to get the FGT or the X2010. i dont have time to grind.....it sucks. 20 mil is ridiculous considering you dont get but at most 200k in a race, and that's for an endurance race......

 

[Bornin1980s]

Would I be right in saying that all opponents here always have open cockpits?
